I2C Backpack for LCD


This link more than adequately covers the setup and execution of using a PCF8574 backpack with a standard LCD https://www.instructables.com/id/Using-PCF8574-backpacks-with-LCD-modules-and-Ardui/

The beauty of the backpack is that it reduces all the digital IO needed to run an LCD down to two digital pins!

I have some caveats to identify when working with the NodeMcu ESP8266


Wiring for Node MCU

  • See the pinout below for both arduino and the NodeMcu (for wifi version)

  • Adjust the Potentiometer for display contrast

Coding

  • Coding should be exactly the same as the article above, utilizing the LiquidCrystal_I2c.h
